The moment Wu Tong arrived at Lang Garden, Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang came out and asked, “Did something happen?”
With tears in her eyes, Wu Tong handed the report to Ye Linlang.
Curious about what had happened, Ye Linlang read the report. “Your friend is sick?”
“This is Li Hang’s...”
“What? What did he get?” Xue Xuning asked worryingly.
“Gastric cancer. It’s still in the early stage and it was discovered quickly early on. We can remove part of the stomach to remove the tumor.”
After reading through the whole report, Ye Linlang was sure that other than her, no other doctor would have the guts to perform the surgery.
“Wu Tong, don’t worry. There has to be a way to cure him,” Xie Xuning comforted. Even he started to believe that Li Hang was a man loved by God. Even fate was trying to get him and Wu Tong back together.
“The doctor said that there’s no way he can perform this surgery. The only other option we have left is to use medication.”
“The surgery itself is not complicated. It’s something I used to do,” Ye Linlang sighed. “However, you know that I have been researching the X-Virus and I’ve not performed any surgery for a long time now.”
Wu Tong’s eyes were immediately full of surprise. She immediately grabbed Ye Linlang’s hands and asked, “Did you say you can do it?”
“No, not the present me...” Ye Linlang then pointed at a few spots on the X-ray film and explained, “Here, and here. A slight mistake and his life will be in danger. I can’t perform the surgery now, not unless I have enough time to practice.”
Ye Linlang knew that she still had the skill she had in the past. She was confident that she had and would always be good with her skill.
However, there was still a huge gap between a surgeon who performed surgeries every day and one who had not performed once in a while.
If one were to not perform surgery for a while, they would be out of practice.
Because of Ye Tianxin’s condition, it had been more than six months since Ye Linlang had picked a scalpel up.
Even if she were to pick one up now, she did not dare to stand in front of the surgical table.
She would not take any needless risks because she was a doctor.
She was the only one who knew how bad she was feeling.
“How long do you need?” Wu Tong said, his voice trembling.
After pondering for a while, Ye Linlang finally answered, “At least ten days of practice.”
“Ten days...” Wu Tong was starting to calculate if Li Hang would have enough time to recover to make it to Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin’s wedding. “That’s great. I’ll leave it to you, Linlang.”
“Come on, you don’t have to thank me. Li Hang is our family now, there’s no way I’m going to sit by and do nothing while his life is in danger.”
Wu Tong smiled. “I’ll take my leave first then.”
“Why don’t you remain here for the night?” Ye Linlang proposed, even though it was already late. “We have a lot of empty rooms here.”
Wu Tong spent the night in Lang Garden’s guest room. Ye Tianxin didn’t find out about Li Hang’s stomach cancer until the next morning when she was eating breakfast.
She was so taken aback that she took a long time to speak. “How come we never discovered out he had cancer?” Mom, I assumed dad’s employer would arrange for everyone to get their bodies examined every year?”
“We do know that Li Hang has gastritis,” Ye Linlang stated, handing her daughter a red bean bun. “That’s why we always made sure to monitor his stomach all the time. However, you should know that before a tumor arises, we won’t be able to detect the malignancy.
